A group of first graders were taken on an indoctrinational field trip to witness a gay marriage in California, according to Protect Marriage. If traditional marriage is not upheld, this is what we’ll be getting everywhere.
In the same week that the No on 8 campaign launched an ad that labeled as “lies” claims that same-sex marriage would be taught in schools to young children, a first grade class took a school-sponsored trip to a gay wedding. Eighteen first graders traveled to San Francisco City Hall Friday for the wedding of their teacher and her lesbian partner, The San Francisco Chronicle reported. The school sponsored the trip for the students, ages 5 and 6, taking them away from their studies for the same-sex wedding. According to the Yes on 8 campaign, the public school field trip demonstrates that the California Supreme Court’s decision to legal same-sex marriage has real consequences.
“Taking children out of school for a same-sex wedding is not customary education. This is promoting same-sex marriage and indoctrinating young kids,” said Yes on 8—ProtectMarriage.com Campaign Co-Manager Frank Schubert. “I doubt the school has ever taken kids on a field trip to a traditional wedding,” Schubert said.

This is a fail. If you had even bothered to read the headline, you would have seen that it said “Class surprises teacher at lesbian wedding.” I.E., they were not required to go, they thought it would be fun to surprise their teacher, only they didn’t know she was a lesbian because she’s not allowed to discuss sexuality with her class. I’m sick of people playing this off as a “required field trip” and “discriminatory against traditional marriages.” I’m sure if anybody had known the teacher was a lesbian, this would not have happened. Too bad homosexuality is so taboo in our culture, that her supervisors didn’t even know about her lifestyle and couldn’t prevent a few kids from finding out the hard way about sexuality.
